AN ASSISTANT COACH AND FORMER PLAYER FOR THE NEBRASKA BASEBALL TEAM.( NAT of mom walking in, 'Hi!!') MONICA LEDBETTER REMEMBERS LANEY'S FIRST MONTHS WATCHING DAD.. AND A TERRIFYING DAY, AS THE Monica Ledbetter/Laney's Mom: She was about 4 to 4.5 months old and she just didn't seem right. She was vomiting, she was lethargic.)( Monica: they concluded she needed to be seen at the hospital immediately for scans and Xrays, and everything went very quickly from there.) LANEY.. HAD A SUBDURAL HEMATOMA..BLEEDING ON HER BRAIN.( PETERSEN: The Ledbetters found out later on Laney was in such bad shape, doctors didn't know if she'd survive the helicopter ride to Omaha. She did.. And doctors here at the Nebraska Medical life.)( Dr. Kenneth Follett/NMC: We occassionally see children that have similar types of blood clots on the brain.This is the largest I can recall seeing in such a young child.) SEE FOR ON THIS SCAN WAS LANEY'S BRAIN WHEN DOCTOR KENNETH FOLLETT GRAY, THE BLOOD CLOT, LITERALLY PUSHING ONTO HER BRAIN. DOCTOR FOLLETT PERFORMED EMERGENCY SURGERY.. BUT NO ONE KNEW WOULD HOW LANEY WOULD BE WHEN SHE WOKE UP.( Curtis Ledbetter/Laney's Dad: 4.5, 5 days later, they took her off the vent and somehow, someway, she was dang near smiling coming off that thing.)
